Zusammenfassung:Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of performance of regular sportive activity (SA) on bone mineral density in adolescents. Material and Methods: Fifty-five adolescents performing regular SA and 56 normally active adolescents were included in the study. Bone mineral density was measured with a quantitative ultrasonography device. Results: Adolescents performing regular SA had higher bone mineral density when compared with normally active adolescents (p=0.011). Vitamin D levels were also higher in the group performing regular SA (p
